Jim, Joan, Carol, and Lynn, ready for dinner. |
Hello (again) to the FUHS '65 group. I posted an e-mail on our list a month or so ago, mentioning that my wife, Joan, and I would be visiting Lynn Dold in Wichita, KS. Lynn was with 'us' for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades - and he was a very close friend of mine (see photo).
Well, we had a truly great visit - Lynn showed us around Wichita - where he had grown up, and where he wrote most of his books (do a Google on 'Gaylord Dold' and you'll be amazed). Then we met up with his friend Carol and the four of us had a very nice dinner in the Old Town section of Wichita (see photo).
Lynn and Carol then set us up for our itinerary the next day - to maximize our time in, and acquaintance with, the Flint Hills and what's left of open prairie in Kansas. Even though our touristing weather wasn't too good, we enjoyed the day nonetheless.
It's truly wonderful to have this network of FUHS '65 folks sprinkled around here and there!
Margaret and Carmen - you're next - we're coming to Boise in late May.
Cheers--Jim Price

I posted a note on this list about a month ago, mentioning that my wife, Joan, and I would be in Branson, MO in mid-April for a week. "Out of the blue," an e-mail came from Vicky (Hallstead) Strattard who said something like"Hey, my husband and I live in Branson, come visit." Vicky was in the FUHS class of '60, but she has some relatives who were in our class ('65). She lived in Fallbrook for over 50 years, and her hubby, Ted, retired from the Fallbrook Fire Dept. a while back. Perhaps some of you remember him as well.
Anywho, we visited Vicky and Ted at their lovely home on the south shore of Table Rock Lake, a few miles from Branson. A photo is attached of me, Vicky, and Ted in their living room. Ted also has a really 'hot' Ford pickup from the '50s!
Vicky, thanks to you and Ted for the hospitality, and it seems that any FUHS alumni who visit the Branson area would be welcome in their home.
Cheers--Jim Price
